The Brighton friends

I am doing some wild food stuff outside, and I meet someone who I really get on with, and they invite me back to their house. Its a darkish basement apartment, with few windows but a nice friendly hobbit like feel. He's a guy who is really into japanese and chinese culture, and he practices some kind of martial art or meditation practice. His girlfriend is there too, and she and I cook some eggs on toast and get some food, despite the fact that we have already eaten out. You always know when your with friendly people when you feel a comfortableness to be able to make food in their house. I get myself some cereal in a bowl, and look for milk. There is non so I use water, and when I pour water into the bowl, I realise- this isn't cereal, its tea lights! "So you've found some floater lights, great!" My host says. It seems I have. Now where did I put my cereal? In looking around I find my eggs on toast, and sit down to eat. After eating I look around, and notice the massive C D collection, and she says "yes there are lots I know"... There are thousands. "I could spend hours and hours with all of these..." I remark. "Yes" the guy says, "I always have at least one cd on me, always something good to listen to." I ask them some questions, as you do, as I browse the c d collection. "So, why do you commute to brighton and live in bristol- surely this is hard to do?" "Well, firstly we don't have any children so it makes it easier, having less responsibilities. And we both love our jobs, but our friends are here in Bristol, so we wanted to stay living here, and it doesn't take that long to travel."
